Mainland tourist boom for Asia-Pacific
Print Edition
CHINESE mainland will continue to contribute the largest share of tourists to Asia-Pacific in 2016, according to the MasterCard Asia Pacific Destinations Index released yesterday.
According to the report, 50.4 million tourists from the Chinese mainland are projected to travel to destinations across Asia-Pacific this year, making up 15.7 percent of total overnight arrivals in the region at the city-level destination. In 2016, Chinese travelers are expected to spend US$45.3 billion in Asia-Pacific destinations, making up 18.2 percent of total tourist expenditure in the region.
Four of the top-five origin markets with the highest contribution of international overnight arrivals to Asia-Pacific destinations are from Northeast Asia — South Korea ranked second after Chinese mainland, followed by China’s Taiwan, the United States and Japan. The four Northeast Asian markets are expected to contribute 38.4 percent of total international overnight arrivals in the region in 2016. Of the top-10 Asia-Pacific destinations, four have Chinese mainland as their biggest source of tourists.
